      Flow development of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a sudden three-dimensional square expansion 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (1999)
      The flow development of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a sudden three-dimensional square expansion is studied numerically. The flow is modeled using the mixed-Galerkin finite element formulation to solve the conservation of ...

      On the determination of yield surfaces in Herschel-Bulkley fluids 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (1999)
      Herschel-Bulkley fluids are materials that behave as rigid solids when the local stress τ is lower than a finite yield stress τ0, and flow as nonlinearly viscous fluids for τ > τ0. The flow domain then is characterized by ...

      Rheology of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Burgos, G. R.; Entov, V. M. (Affiliation: Semisolid Processing Laboratory, Metal Processing Institute, WPI, Worcester, MA 01609, United StatesAffiliation: Polytech. University of Puerto Rico, Mechanical Engineering Department, San Juan 00918, Puerto RicoAffiliation: Institute for Problems in Mechanics, Russian Academy of Science, pr. Vemadskogo, 101, 117526 Moscow, Russian FederationCorrespondence Address: Alexandrou, A.N.Semisolid Processing Laboratory, Metal Processing Institute, WPI, Worcester, MA 01609, United States, 2000)
      The effective use of the semisolid process presumes a good theoretical framework to describe it. The understanding of semisolid behavior should be based upon a combination of basic and empirical knowledge in versatile ...

      Semisolid metal processing: A new paradigm in automotive part design 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Burgos, G. R.; Entov, V. M. (2000)
      Processing of metal alloys in their mushy state represents a new trend in metal processing. The process produces components with low porosity, high crack resistance along with fine microstructure and mechanical properties ...

      Thixotropic rheology of semisolid metal suspensions 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (2001)
      Understanding the time-dependent flow behavior of semisolid materials (SSM) is essential for the simulation of semisolid processes. During processing, the structure of the material changes with the processing history due ...

      Thixotropy of semisolid metals 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Burgos, G. R.; Entov, V. M. (Materials Research Society, 2000)
      Understanding the time-dependent flow behavior of metal alloys in semisolid state is essential for the further development of the process. In the present investigation, the thixotropic behavior of semisolid slurries is ...
